Peer Reviews

‘…This is the 2nd edition of this text; what was already a fantastic resource has gotten even better. This monograph has cut out the fluff and left only the clinically relevant information you need to manage a patient with a poisoning or toxicologic exposure. After reading the book I have placed it on the shelf in our resuscitation bay. When the residents have a poisons case, they reach for this book first because they can rapidly find the information they need in an easily digestible form. Sections on particular antidotes are standouts. While I don’t see many of the creatures from the toxin section, I still enjoyed reading about them. Overall a fantastic reference text.
